INTRODUCTION. 


This  little  pamphlet  is  intended  to  be  an  elementaiy  aid  to  the 
beginning  of  the  study  of  the  Moro  dialect  as  spoken  in  the  vicinity 
of  Cotabato,  Parang  Parang,  Malabang,  and  Baras,  and  with  varia- 

;  tions  around  the  Lake  of  Lanao. 

rv     It  will  in  time  be  found  to  be  inaccurate  in  some  minor  particulars, 

:^  but  as  it  is  the  lirst  thing  of  its  kind  in  the  English  language  no 

^apology  is  ottered. 

^     The  continental  value  of  the  vowels  has  been  used  in  the  spelling  on 

-  account  of  the  simplicity  and  its  common  sense.     It  also  takes  up  so 
much  less  space  than  to  use  our  antiquated  method.    For  instance,  the 

^  expression  ''Where  are  you  going T'  is  simply  written  "Andau  Ka 

:;;  Pagangay?"  instead  of  "Ahndah-ookah  pagangeye?"  which  would  be 
the  only  way  to  express  it  so  that  no  one  could  mistake  it.     Most 

'^.  of  those  who  will  want  a  book  of  this  kind  will  be  familiar  with  the 

I  Spanish  language  to  some  extent,  and  so  will  have  no  difliculty  with 

"^  the  method. 

y      After  one  has  become  somewhat  familiar  with  the  dialect  I  would 
recommend  the  purchase  of  the  dictionary  of  Father  Juan  Martin, 

^  but  not  before,  as  its  many  inaccuracies  will  only  serve  to  confuse  the 

i5  student  and  give  entirely  wrong  impressions.

A  PRIMER  OF  THE  MORO  LANGUAGE. 


GENERAL.  CONSIDERATIONS. 

One  point  wliicli  is  of  such  prime  importance  that  an  ignorance  of 
it  would  preclude  any  possi})ilitv  of  learning-  the  lanj^uag-e  will  be 
spoken  of  tir.st.  This  is  the  almost  universal  use  of  the  passive  voice, 
which  is  carried  to  the  extreme.  The  active  voice  is  used  only,  or 
nearly  so,  in  an  intransitive  sense,  as  per  the  following-  expressions: 
"1  gave  him  a  dollar."  =  "  Iningay  ku  salkanin  su  isa  pilak,"  the  literal 
translation  of  which  is  "  Was  given  b}^  me  to  him  the  one  dollar." 

was  given         =iningay 
by  me  =ku 

to  him  =salkaniii 

the  one  (lollar=su  isa  pilak 

Thus  the  transitive  sense  is  nearly  always  expressed  by  the  passive 
voice.  As  an  example  of  the  active  intransitive  the  following  is 
given:  "I  am  sleeping."  =  "Pud-tulug  aku,"  or  literally,  "Sleeping 
am  I;"  or  "1  sleep "="Tumulug  aku." 

These  examples  are  given  very  briefl}"  here,  and  will  be  taken  up 
more  full}^  in  another  place.    . 

THE   AKTICLE. 

The  articles  are  three  in  number,  as  follows: 

I 


1  Su  =The 

Singular ^2  Sa  =To  the,  or  of  the,  or  from  the 


1 3  Kanu         =To  the,  or  of  the,  or  from  the 
rl  Su  mga      =  To  the 

Plural <  2  Sa  mga       =To  the,  or  of  the,  or  from  the 

Ls  Kanu  mga=To  the,  or  of  the,  or  from  the 

The  proper  article  is  one  prefixed  to  a  Christian  (?)  (Moro)  name,  as 
the  Moro  always  says  "The  John,"  or  "To  the  John,"  instead  of 
simply  saying  "John"  or  "To  John." 

1  Si      =The. 

2  Kani=To,  of,  or  from  the. 

Instead  of  the  second  form,  the  word  na  or  ni  is  sometimes  used  to 
express  the  genitive  case,  as  "The  house  of  John,"  Su  ualay  ni,  John, 
or  "The  hair  of  the  dog,"  "Su  buk  na  asu."     Used  in  this  way  it  is

preferable.     The  name  of  God  is  by  custom  preceded  by  the  common     ; 
article  Su  or  Kanu.  j 

EXAMPLES.  ' 

Su  kalimu  na  Alatala  =The  love  of  God. 

Andau  .su  ban-gala  ku?  =Where  is  my  coat? 

Inin-gay  ku  kani  John  =1  gave  it  to  John. 

Andau  su  mga  (manga)  sundaru?= Where  are  the  soldiers?

General  rules. — Words  of  two  syllables,  accent  first;  three  syllables,  accent  second; 

four  syllables,  accent  third.  J

THE    NOUN. 

Many  nouns  are  deriv^ed  from  other  words — nouns,  verbs,  and  adjec- 
tives.    A  few  examples  are  given. 

FROM    NOUNS.  .  ; 

From  Kalabaza,  squash  =Kalabaza-an,  a  place  of  squashes.  ; 

From  Niug,  cocoanut  =Niug-an,  a  place  of  cocoanuts.  ■ 

From  Palau,  mountain  =Palau-an,  a  place  of  mountains.  ; 

From  Surat,  a  letter  =Pa-su-surat,  a  clerk.  : 

From  Tugus,  a  net  =Pa-tu-tugus,  a  fisherman.  , 

FROM    ADJECTIVES.  ' 

I 

From  Ma-item,  black  =Ka-item,  blackness.  i 

From  Ma-pia,  good  =Ka-pia,  goodness. 

From  Ma-lat,  bad  =Ka-lat,  badness.  i 

From  Ma-rangit,  mad  =Ka-rangit,  madness,  anger.  ', 

From  Ma-puti,  white  =Ka-puti,  whiteness. 

FROM    VERBS.  \ 

I 

From  lug,  wish  =K(a)-iug,  a  wish.  s 

From  Patay,  to  be  dead  =Ka-patay,  death. 

From  Tulug,  to  sleep  =Ka-tulug,  sleep.  -i 

From  Ulug,  to  fall  =Ka-ulug,  fall. 

From  N-galabuk,  to  work=Kan-galabuk,  work. 

From  Kan,  to  eat  =Ka-kan,  meal.  •  i 

From  Tau,  to  know  =Ka-tau,  knowledge. 

i 

Thus  it  will  be  seen  that  noun.s  are  formed  from  nouns  bv  suffixino-     I 
the  particle  ""an""  to  nouns  to  indicate  "a  place  of,"  and  the  prefix     \ 
"pa''  with  a  repetition  of  the  first  sj^llable  to  indicate  an  employment; 
from  verbs  by  prefixing-  the  particle  Ka  (see  also  conjugations);  from      j 
adjectives  b}^  prefixing  the  particle  "Ka"  to  the  root.  \ 

I 

ADJECTIVES.  I 

Adjectives  are  almost  always  distinguished  by  their  beginning  with      \ 
the  particle  "Ma;"  as,  for  instance:  | 

Ma-tilak  =  smooth.  Ma-tanus  =  clean.  Ma-idu  =  little. 

Ma-ugat  =  heavy.  Ma-singit  =  stingy.  Ma-sla  =  big.

tive verb  in  the  passive. 

4.  The  participle  "sa"  is  used  before  the  singuhir  objecit  of  transi- 
tive verbs  in  the  active  ("kanu"  may  also  be  used). 

5.  The  active  form  of  verbs  is  used  when  in  an  intransitive  sense. 

6.  The  singular  pronouns  "aku,"  "ka,"  and  "sekanin"  follow  active 
forms  of  the  verb. 

7.  The  singular  pronouns  "ku,"  "nka,"  "  nin  "  follow  passive  forms 
of  the  verb. 

8.  The  present  participle  is  formed  by  prefixing  the  participle  "pa," 
"pe,""  "pini,'''  "pid,"  "ped,"  and  "peg,"  "pen,"  "ping"  to  the  root 
of  the  present. 

9.  The  infinitive  is  always  formed  in  the  active  when  purely  an 
infinitive. 

10.  An  infinitive  used  as  a  verbal  noun  is  formed  by  the  particle 
"ka"  or  "kal)pa-g"  when  in  a  past  sense,  "kina.'' 

II.  The  passive  is  frequently  formed  by  suffixing  the  particle  "an" 
or  "en"  after  the  root;  i.  e.,  "lusudan,"  "embalen." 

12.  The  active  by  "  um,"  after  the  first  consonant,  "  lusud-lumusud," 
"  sulat  sumulat."

ginaua  ku,''  "  It  makes  my  heart  good  to  see  you."

the  horse."  The  past  is  " Pina-kambuat  ku  su  manga  tau,"  "lordered 
the  people  to  get  up." 

17.  Gerunds  usually  in  the  passive. 

IS.  "When"  is  followed  by  "i"  instead  of  su  in  sentences  like 
this:  "When  are  you  going?"  Canu  i  kaganat  ka  ?  "  When  the  go

8 


PRIMEK    OF    THE    MORO    LANGUAGE. 


19.  In  reference  to  the  particle  "paka"  or  "pinaka"  note  these 
examples: 

Pabetay  aku  nin=To  strike  ordered  am  I  by  him. 
Pinabetay  aku  nin=To  strike  ordered  was  I  by  him. 

In  the  first  case  "pa"  is  used  instead  of  "paka." 

20.  Ipabetay  aku  nin=Struck  ordered  am  I  by  him.  ' 
Inipabetay  aku  nin= Struck  ordered  was  I  by  him. 

In  this  case  the  action  is  reflexive  and  is  a  "double  passive." 

21.  "I"  prefixed  to  a  root  makes  it  mean  "to  do  with""  whatever  it 
may  be;  as,  for  instance: 

Igamut  ku  su  gamut  salka=I  cure  you  with  medicine. 
Iteped  ku  su  patuk  sa  kayu=I  cut  with  the  hatchet  the  tree. 

22.  To  love  each  other  or  to  fight  each  other,  etc.,  is  expressed  by 
the  suffix  "ay  "  as  follows: 

Pegcalimuay  8ilan=They  love  each  other. 
Pembunuay  silan=They  fight  each  other. 

The  suffix  "ay"  is  always  added  to  the  present  participle. 

23.  "  Who  "  at  the  beginning-  of  an  interrogative  sentence  is  followed 
by  "i." 

24.  In  questions  in  regard  to  the  time  of  doing  anything  use  the

Da  aku  makainum  kagay=I  could  not  drink  yesterday. 

26.  All  verbs  forming  the  present  with  the  prefix  "  ed,"  as  edsagayan 
aku,  form  the  past  with  "mid,"  as  midsagayan  aku. 

27.  The  same  with  "ub"  present,  or  with  "mib"  or  "pib"  for  the
